Summer Software Engineering Intern - Remote

Who we are

Small accounting firms in England use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

The internship

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. The company is based in London, the UK. The team is spread across multiple countries. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in London, and the stipend is paid monthly in local currency. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

Responsibilities

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

Who can apply

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Based in Chile for the duration of the internship.

• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

What you get out of it

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
